From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

乐观是一件很容易的事情,忧患也是一件很容易的事情。在忧患之中,找到乐观的理由,才是最难的事情。 《纽约时报》专栏作家托马斯•弗里德曼是一个不可救药的乐观主义者。他相信“金色M理论”:只要两个国家都有麦当劳,就不会发生战争。这么天真的想法,居然会如此流行,是...
评分本书可说是一本有关于物理的政治学。简单如这般的道理能写成一本书真是服了。本人一直是阴谋论者,实在不想相信这就是该书作者对“中国模式”的的全部思考。当初写《北京共识》可能是真的有感而发,而这一次的《不可思议的世界》有可能是西方少数利益集团捧杀中国伎俩之一。从2...

评分亚马逊网站的五星推荐的确有道理,本书不是弗里德曼在《世界是平的》里的不可救药的乐观主义,而是雷默在《北京共识》继续表现出来的危机意识。 本书需要慢慢地品味,也许可以结合《世界是平的》和《世界又热又平又挤》一起来读。 话说,《世界是平的》已经更新到3.0版本了,...
